For a newborn, breast milk is the only food. The quality and safety of milk primarily depends on what the woman eats. In order not to harm the child, a nursing woman has to give up many products. We will find out if red caviar is included in the list of prohibited products.
Useful properties of red caviar
Red caviar is a very healthy and nutritious product. All properties of caviar are due to its unique composition. Caviar contains water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, cholesterol, ash, saturated fatty acids, B vitamins, vitamins A, D, K, PP, choline, macronutrients potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium, trace elements selenium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese. Naturally, such a composition will only benefit a person.
This useful product enhances immunity, improves vision, strengthens bones and blood vessels. It can be used as a prophylactic agent against cardiovascular diseases and as a general tonic and giving strength in severe or chronic diseases. It would seem that all this speaks in favor of the fact that caviar must be eaten by lactating women. Indeed, for a long pregnancy, a woman spends a lot of energy, and after giving birth, she needs good nutrition. But it's not that simple. It is also necessary to understand how caviar will affect the body of a newborn.
Eating red caviar during lactation
After giving birth, a woman has an impressive list of prohibited foods. It contains seafood, citrus fruits, red vegetables, fruits and berries, because these products are quite allergenic and can cause an allergic reaction in the baby. It also contains legumes, sodas, sweets and baked goods because they can cause gas in the infant. In addition, everything is not salty, spicy, bitter and has a specific taste and smell, because this smell and taste will partially end up in milk, and the newborn can simply refuse breast milk. After the baby refuses, it will be difficult to establish lactation.
Among all the prohibited products, there is no red caviar, but there are salty foods. Caviar is prohibited because it contains a large amount of salt and preservatives. It is the preservatives contained in this product that can cause allergies, and not that caviar is a seafood. After all, caviar has nothing to do with seafood. Too much salt can alter the taste of breast milk. Salt also retains fluid in the body, can cause swelling, and kidney problems for both mother and baby. After all, some of the salt gets into the milk. Therefore, in the first months of a child's life, it is better to refrain from eating red caviar and to replenish the need for protein, vitamins, fats with other products. The use of red caviar during breastfeeding is possible subject to certain rules.
From about six months, you can begin to gradually introduce this useful product into your mother's diet. By this time, complementary feeding of the child has already begun and milk is not the only product in the baby's diet. You can start with a few eggs. You need to try this product for the first time in the morning, and during the day, monitor the child's reaction, whether colic, rash appeared, or his state of health changed. If there are no negative reactions, then gradually you can increase the portions and bring up to 2 teaspoons per day (this is the amount recommended per day for a healthy adult). Only if all the rules are followed by the mother, breast milk will benefit the baby and not harm him.
